SRC Member AlfaRomeo Posted December 23, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted December 23, 2004 No Idea if the first pics are before or after zeovit but either way, i am on zeovit for a few months only so the first pics are either just before or just after introduction of zeovit. hehe Before and After are about 2-3 months or so apart..

SRC Member Chefri Posted December 30, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted December 30, 2004 Bro Alfaromeo,do you use zeocarbon ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Chefri Posted December 30, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted December 30, 2004 Bro alfa romoe,are you using DSB until now ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member AlfaRomeo Posted December 30, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted December 30, 2004 Chefri, I am now using Tunze Carbon but soon will be changing carbon to maybe RowaCarbon. Heard its one of the best in terms of PO4 leeching. DSB is still in the tank but now siphoning part of the sandbed to make it thinner as time goes by. Doing it when I do my water changes.

SRC Member tineng Posted December 30, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted December 30, 2004 guys, i notice one very cute effect for zeovit.....occasionly the mum will break away from the filter and i actually saw my kole-eye tang rushing to eat them!!!! guess it explains why that bugger is growing fatter and fatter despite not eating.....

SRC Member Chefri Posted December 30, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted December 30, 2004 Bro alfaromeo,Using carbon in zeovit system is a must ? because I don't like add it. some people with zeovit system the acros can change the color within a few days....is it true or not ?

SRC Member tineng Posted December 30, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted December 30, 2004 i think you definately need carbon.... my brown montie turns to purple within a week....but the other corals took weeks to color up....so guess its a matter of luck.... My warning is not to overdoes....when i first started, i read the instruction wrongly and overdoes....all SPS died except a encrushing monti and acro....

SRC Member AlfaRomeo Posted December 30, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted December 30, 2004 Chefri, I think Carbon is a must in the zeovit system. Its a complete system where evrything must be in place for optimum effects. The system also needs a lot of patience and if we are impatient and overdose stuff, it will result in STN/RTN of the acros cos the environment chnages too fast and the acro cannot cope with the changes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Chefri Posted December 30, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted December 30, 2004 I think carbon will absorb anything include Iodide,amino acid and etc what we add every day. what do you think ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weileong Posted December 30, 2004 Author Share Posted December 30, 2004 That is the reason why they recommend to use the GAC in a passive manner so the absorption rate is slow. Quote Weileong's 4ft tank Part I Weileong's 4ft tank Part II Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member [JS] Posted December 30, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted December 30, 2004 wat about refigum ? cannot together with zeovit? Quote OuR LoVe StOrY SiTe->http://ohjs83.multiply.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weileong Posted December 30, 2004 Author Share Posted December 30, 2004 Macro algae in your refiugm requires a certain level of nutrients in order to thrive. The zeovit system will lower the nutrient levels to such level that the macro algae will melt away eventually.

alazo1 Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 www.zeovit.com Read the guide. They said it must be followed to get good results. I'm getting the zeo delivered today so I cannot give any feedback but here's what I know by reading the guide and alot of post. If high nutrients in tank it may be a good idea to bring photoperiod down. Corals from LFS that has been kept in high nutrients may not be as successful as getting wild caught corals due to the system having real low nutrients. Best to acclimate corals to light slowly. Corals seem to be fed by shaking the zeovit media (people notice more polyp extension after feeding). This is probably important because the zeo system will drop the zooanthellale level of the corals and must be replaced with food for nutrients. Due to low nutrients macroalgea will not grow. Corralline algea in some zeo tanks is low or non-existing. Ca. and Alk levels should be kept at levels stated in the guide which is closer to NSW. This is my first challange since I keep dkh at about 12. Need to bring them down. This system does not seem to be for reefers that are lax on husbandry. Weekly water changes, shaking the zeo and additives must be done. After what they call stage 3 which is when the system is low nutrient stable you don't need as much dosing so maybe it's easier then. Please correct me if I'm wrong on any of these, I do not want to spread bad info, just saying what I've been reading. I will post progress.
